When you need a place to store farm equipment you know the folks at Barn, Shed, and Carport can provide the best! We specialize in helping farmers like you get just the right size building for what you need. Clearly, metal buildings offer many advantages and benefits and that is why they have quickly become so popular in the farming and agriculture industries.

Since all of our barns, sheds, or carports are produced to order, each structure is pretty much built with the customer’s specific needs in mind. Basically, your barn, shed, or carport comes in 5’ length sections with base rails that should be properly anchored to whatever type surface the customer has or will have. Each “end” of the structure has a 6” overhang which adds one foot to the length. Some customers choose to put the entire overhang on one end resulting in a one foot overhang

Throughout time, wooden storage barns coated in a darkish red paint have been iconic images most people associate with the perfect, cute, little farm. Moreover, yes, long ago, when metal and steel were the more expensive material to use, wood was the correct choice. However, times have changed; today’s farmers now know the right choice are metal/steel barns and storage sheds. The price of wood has gone up in the last few years and so therefore, the option, which will be easier on the wallet and finances, is metal or steel.

So why would you choose a metal shed among all the other choices available on the market? We can name a few like Quality, Durability, Affordability, and those are just some of the reasons why a metal shed just makes sense. Here at Barn, Shed, & Carport Direct we also offer additional benefits like your choice of colors so you can match your home. Metal sheds are quite simply built to last a long time; it’s really hard to go wrong with a metal shed.

In addition to the high quality coat of protective paint that you’re building receives to help and keep it from common problems like rusting; your metal building is not susceptible to the things some wood sheds are. Issues with wood sheds include problems like rats chewing holes in the wood, insect infestations like termites, wood rot or one of many other common lumber problems. When you invest with us your satisfaction is guaranteed at Barn, Shed & Carport Direct; we stand behind every single metal shed that we sell to farmers like you.

As summertime arrives many of us are getting back out in the yard to play… I mean work… on our various outdoor projects. We plant gardens, tend to our yards and landscapes, or use the extended daylight to get handy with a project or two to spruce up the ole homestead. Having a shed to store all the tools and supplies we need is vital… so we don’t have to listen to our spouse complaining about all the junk in the closet or the corner of the garage.

Metal and Steel buildings including barns, sheds and carports are becoming increasingly popular in today’s agricultural farming industry. Sturdy storage structures are a crucial and critical necessity of the farming business. Using metal structures have been growing in today’s trends due to the low prices, longevity of the materials, product itself and the durability of the materials during mother natures twists and turns.

Throughout time, wooden storage barns coated in a darkish red paint have been iconic images most people associate with the perfect, cute, little farm. Moreover, yes, long ago, when metal and steel were the more expensive material to use, wood was the correct choice. However, times have changed; today’s farmers now know the right choice are metal/steel barns and storage sheds. The price of wood has gone up in the last few years and so therefore, the option, which will be easier on the wallet and finances, is metal or steel.

Longevity, a describing word that lots of companies throw out there willie- nillie, but when using it to describe the metals to craft a steel storage shed or barn, it is not, it is true. The elements used to create steel today are leaps and bounds stronger than the materials used in earlier times. Metal storage structures and steel storage buildings can now withstand greater forces of heat, wind, fires and rains. The scientific progression made in the last decade or so has not only changed the steel but has also the revamped the composition of the paint now used to cover the outside of the metal. This new and improved paint is now tougher and can stay rust-proof longer. In addition, the painting process has changed, instead of being simply sprayed on; it is sprayed on and then baked on to insure its longevity.

Mother nature has been having a few good chuckles over the past few years at the Americans expense. She has been leaving a trail of destruction and broken homes in her wake while continuing to show her control. Because of the durability of the metal and the solid foundation in which it is laid upon, a steel barn or shed is less likely to be completely ripped to shreds, which in turn, cost you the farmer, less to replace, refurbish, or rebuild. Not to mention all of the wild fires that have been occurring in the United States make people iffy about purchasing a wooden barn because it will be the fastest to go up in flames.

So when it comes to renovating or just sprucing up the overall look and quality of your farm, go with the percentages, be one of the popular farmers that everyone envy’s. Go with a new metal or steel barn and storage shed. Your equipment, supplies, livestock and overall farming inventory will thank you. Choose metal/steel structures, it is the right choice.

Happy Farming!

Product flexibility of your barn, shed, or carport is often misunderstood and can be a deciding factor for many customers. Due to the fact that all barns, sheds, or carports are produced to order, each structure is pretty much built with the customer’s specific needs in mind. Basically, your barn, shed, or carport comes in 5’ length sections with base rails that should be properly anchored to whatever type surface the customer has or will have. Each “end” of the structure has a 6” overhang which adds one foot to the length. Some customers choose to put the entire overhang on one end resulting in a one foot overhang.

Widths vary up to a 40’ clear span barn to a 12’ carport.

First……decide what your needs are in size, coverage and from there the flexibility begins. We can stretch or widen, lengthen, raise the height or lower the height depending on your peak height needs.

The type of structure will vary the type bow which affects the peak height. Whether it is a traditional bow or A Frame, we can provide you roof heights to ensure what you are trying to cover will actually go under the structure.

Color choices, trim choices, door choices…………specifically the location of windows and doors add to the flexibility of the product. Combo structures, which provide a combination of parking area and utility area, are one of the products that flexibility becomes very evident. The enclosed utility area can be 5’, 10’, 15’, or more depending on your needs and budget.

We offer 14 or 12 gauge posts, with the 12 gauge being slightly more expensive while providing an additional warranty. The standard or traditional roof treatment provides excellent coverage with the “veins” in the sheathing running horizontal and is very popular. An upgrade option from the A Frame style is the vertical roof option in which the “veins” in the sheathing are running from the peak of the roof vertically. A vertical roof comes with a ridge cap, some additional roof bracing, and is very appealing cosmetically.

Our regular factory direct pricing includes leg heights up to 12’ but if you need a barn, shed, or carport more than 12’ feet tall, call us……….We offer deluxe galvanized 2” x 3” tubing, welded corners, and 40’ wide clear span structures than can go up to 301’ long. We offer a barn, shed, or carport that can be certified up to a 120 mph wind rating and a 30 psf snow load. We even offer 40 year warranty pricing!

Dutch openings, insulation, skylights, wainscoting, interior liner panels, color matched screws are available making the structures even more flexible. In addition, we offer residential doors and oversize doors up to a 16’ x 12’ with remotes and electric motors.

So………whether it’s the smallest carport, a very large barn for the farm, or a shed for your stuff………. we have the building to fit your needs.

In addition to product flexibility, we also offer approved credit financing or no credit check rent to own programs. We are proudly American owned and operated.
